The real question
Not whether coating works. Which one you should pay for.
Both products do the same job — they make the surface slick so water beads and contamination struggles to stick. The difference is how long it lasts and how much preparation it demands underneath.
One of them costs $100 – $150. The other starts at $400. Plenty of shops will happily sell you the second when you needed the first.

02 — Why the range
The price moves
The price moves
with the prep.
Spray ceramic is priced by vehicle size — that is the only variable.
True ceramic is quoted per vehicle because the coating is the last hour of a much longer job. Paint that needs decontaminating and correcting first sits at the top of the range. Paint that is already sound sits near the bottom. We look at the car and give you the number before anything is opened.
True Ceramic Coating
$400+
Years, not months. Bonded to prepped paint and quoted per vehicle. Based on protection tier & vehicle class.
03 — Coating questions
All questions
Asked and answered
Do you apply ceramic coating at my location in Winnipeg?
Yes. Spray ceramic fits inside a normal visit. True ceramic needs a full day and a surface that stays dry while it cures, so it works best in a garage or under cover — we will talk through your space when you book.
Which one do I actually need?
If you wash the car regularly and you are happy re-doing protection every season, spray ceramic is the honest answer and it costs a fraction as much. True ceramic earns its price on a vehicle you intend to keep for years, or on new paint you want to protect from day one.
Does a coating mean I never have to wash the car?
No. It means dirt has a much harder time bonding and comes off far easier when you do wash. Anyone telling you a coating replaces washing is selling something.
Does my paint need correcting first?
A coating seals in whatever is underneath it, including swirl marks. If the paint is swirled and you want it gone, correction comes first — otherwise you are locking the defects in for the life of the coating. We will tell you honestly whether yours needs it.
Is ceramic coating worth it with Winnipeg winters?
The winter case is the strongest case. Road salt and brine are the harshest thing your paint meets all year, and a coating gives them a sacrificial layer to sit on instead of the clear coat. Coat in the fall, before the first salt truck.
